Iced Earth - High Water Mark songtekst

Je score:
Lee:

"It was very close, yesterday, 

I thought for sure, they would break 

But this attack, that I have planned 

A massive strike across open land

In the center, they will break (will they break?)

But plan it well, everything's at stake 

We'll hit em hard, not a silent gun. 

Before the infantry's begun"



"Execute it well, we risk everything"

"It's in Gods hands now" 



Longstreet:

"General Lee, I must tell you straight 

I beleive this attack will fail. 

No 15,000 men ever made, 

Will overtake that ridge today

A mile charge over open ground, 

With yankee cannon gunnin' us down"



Lee: 

"We do our duty, we do what we must 

And in my plan, you will trust"



(Thousands die, On this day) 



"Execute it well, we risk everything"

"It's in Gods hands now"



The rebel cannon break the silence

One hundred fifty guns make up their cannonade 



They must destroy the union center 

Before the infantry can launch their grand assult 



The yankees are returning fire 

(The earth shakes violently)

In Washington D.C. Lincoln feels the earth shake



What happens here this day

The fate of this nation

In the balance it will hang

Consumed with the pain

The courage of the blue

The valour of the grey

So very sad but true

Consumed with the pain



The virginians are the chosen 

In wait behind the trees on Seminary Ridge 



Longstreet's slow to give the orders

The lines emerged a mile, 15,000 men 



The charge begins in all its granduer 

(To the copse of trees)

For many of these men, they know it is their last 



The slaughter now ensues

Bodies fall like rain 

They valiantly pursue

Yet doomed to remain 

At the double quick they charge 

The canister rips through them 

To the mouth of hell they march 

Glory, the only gain



[Cannon Scene] 



Armistead:

"We're almost there my boys 

I've never served with finer 

We must push forward boys 

And bayonet the yankee tyrants 

To the copse of trees we charge 

To crush the union center 

And when they turn and run 

An open road leads us to freedom"



[Battle Ensues, Orchestra Solo, With people dying in the background] 



Lee:

"It's over now we are retreating 

I never thought that we'd be beaten 

All this blood is on my hands 

The thousands dead due to my plan 

I am responsible, all of it is my fault 

I thought us invincible

Is this gods will, after all? 

I look across this blood soaked land 

All this blood is on my hands 

God forgive me, please forgive me 

It's all my fault, the blood is on my hands"
